BATH IRON WORKS 

T the close of the Civil \\";ir. Gen. Thomas W. Hyde returned to 
Hath, Me., his native city, and purchased a small, almost unknown 
iron foundiy. At tirst the sole business was the making of simple 
castings, but Cleneral Hyde, ajiplying the same peculiar ability that 
distinguished him in every field, rapidly improved and enlarged his 
sphere of work. New machinery was added and a machine shop 
l>uilt and he entered the field of building ship machinery such as 
windlasses, hoisting engines, etc. 

In 1S8+ the Bath Iron Works was organized and in I8S9 the Bath Iron Works, 
Ltd.. purchased the plant of the Goss Marine Iron Works at Bath, a plant engaged 
in the building of marine engines and boilers. 

In connection with this plant a shipyard was built, and hi April, 18S)0, the first 
vessels, other than wood, constructed in Maine were contracted for, the United States 
gunboats "Machias" and "Castine". The company was successful from a financial 
and engineering point of view. 

The liuilding of vessels' auxiliaries was turned over to a company organized for 
the purpose and called the Hyde Windlass Coniiiany. which company l>uilt an entire 
new ))lant at Bath for this business. 

In 1897 (leneral Hyde was obliged by ill health to retire from the active 
management of the Bath Iron Works, and his son Edward W. Hyde liecame Presi- 
dent and John S Hyde, another son. Vice-President. 

General Hyde died Xovemlier 14.. 18c)t). Soon after his death the Bath Iron 
Works was purchased by the United States Shipbuilding Company, and siibseiiuently 
became the property, through reorganization, of their successors. 

In 1.005, .lohn S. Hyde purchased the Bath Iron Works. Ltd.. and put new 
capital into the business, since which time the plant has practically been rebuilt in 
steel, brick or concrete, wharves extended and new machinery installed. 

The present plant consists of offices and drawing rooms with fireproof vaults. 
building slijis. shipyard, punch shop, bending Hoor and furnaces, machine shop, 
boiler shoj), forge shop, anglesmith shop, coppersmith shop, tinsmith shop, piping 
and iilumbing shop, pattern shop, carpenter shop, paint shop, electricians' shop, 
mold loft, rigger loft, brass foundry and chemical and testing laboratory: all in 
modern buildings, equipped with the best and most modern tools and machinery. 

The plant is thoroughly equipped with powerful cranes and handling machinery, 
together Avith steam, electricity. com|)ressed air and hydraulic |)i>wer jjlants. 

The company employs about 1000 men in many trades, and has made a specialty 
of light construction and high speed work, giving particular attention to the most 
difficult requirements in this line. It was the first company in this country to 
become licensee for the manufactui-e of the Parsons marine turbine, of which prime 
mover it has built over 130,000 horse power. 

The com|)any is also licensed to build the Normand water tube boikr. of which 
they have built aliout '^00.000 horse power. 

It has liuilt for the United States Navy, five torpedo boats, ten torpedo boat 
destroyers, one battleship, one scout cruiser, one protected cruiser, one ram, one 
practice vessel and four gunboats, and also many high speed yachts and passenger 
steamers for private owners 

The present otticers of the Company are: .Tohn S. Hyde. President and General 
Manager: Charles P. Wetherbee. Vice-President and Superintending Engineer: 
.Tohn Mclimes. Superintendent of Construction: Hubert H. McCarty, Treasurer: 
.loseph M. Trott. Secretary and Counsel. 

These five comprise the Board of Directors.

THE SLATER FAMILY 

HAT the names "f Arkwright and Strutt mean to English manufacturers, 
the name Slater means to the American cotton and woolen industries, for 
it was Samuel Slater who laid the foundation of the great manufactories 
that have created most of the wealth of New England. 

Today the Stater family owns and operates a great system of woolen 
and cotton mills, which had their beginnings more than a century ago, and 
a fourth generation of Slaters is soon to undertake the management of the 
great business which had its inception in the departure from England in 
1TS9, of Samuel Slater, one of America's most picturesque pioneers. He 
was the son of William Slater, landed yeoman of Belper, Derbyshire, 
and had been apprenticed to his father's friend, Jedidiah Strutt, associate of Arkwright, 
whose inventions revolutionized cotton spinning. 

At 17, young Slater had become overseer in Strutt's cotton mills, and had also mastered 
all of Arkwright's inventions. Before his industrial service with Strutt had ended, the young 
man had determined to leave England for the new world. He saw farther than most men of 
his day, and believed that the United States presented a greater field for the textile industry 
than England afforded. 

The reading of an advertisement of an American society offering a reward for the 
invention of textile machinery, to accomplish what Arkwright had done, was largely instru- 
mental in influencing the lad in his decision. The English government was guarding its 
industries most zealously, and no skilled mechanic was allowed to leave the country. Young 
Slater kept his plans to himself, and neither his mother nor his brothers learned of his inten- 
tions until he was well out in the ocean. 

No person could take passage without being subjected to a thorough search, and severe 
punishment was meted out to persons detected in attempts to smuggle knowledge in tangible 
form across the .\tlantic. Young Slater, therefore, could take with him to the new world 
neither drawing nor model. 

Upon arriving in America, he offered his services to Moses Brown of Providence, founder 
of Brown University, whose experiments in making cotton goods by machinery had resulted in 
failure. 

Samuel Slater, from memory, constructed and erected machines that produced yarn 
equal to that spun in England, and the prosperity of the textile industry in New England 
was assured. 

In IT.M the first commercially successful textile mill in America was established in 
Pawtucket, R. I , under the firm name of Almy, Brown & Slater. In 1803 Samuel Slater's 
brother John followed him to America, and together they established other mills, the greatest 
of the Slater properties, the Webster mills, being founded in 1S12. 

Soon after the establishment of the first cotton mill in America in 17!)l), Samuel Slater 
also founded the first Sunday school in America in Pawtucket. 

The KlOth anniversary was observed by the city of Pawtucket in 1.S90 with a whole 
week's celebration. In 1815, three years after the establishment of the Webster properties, 
Samuel Slater, in response to a public demand, established another first institution of its kind 
in America in the form of a woolen mill in Webster. At an early date the United States 
government called upon him to supply cloth for both army and navy. 

Samuel Slater operated the Webster mills almost up to the day of his death in ISSj, 
when he was succeeded by his son, Horatio Nelson Slater. For nearly +5 years, until his 
retirement in ISSS, Horatio N. Slater managed the business, developing it with rapidity and 
solidity. 

His nephew and adopted son, also named Horatio N. Slater, succeeded him, and under 
the direction of the second Horatio N. Slater, the business almost trebled in volume. 

Horatio Nelson Slater, 2d, died .\ugust 13, ls<)i», since which time the mills have been 
operated by trustees, for the reason that for the first time since the foundation of the business 
there were no direct heirs of legal age to undertake tlie management. 

Partly because of a tradition that the mills must be retained in the Slater family, and 
partly because of the incalculable value of the name in connection with cotton and wool manu- 
factures, Mrs. Mabel Hunt Slater, widow of Horatio N. Slater, 2d, strenuously opposed a plan 
to alienate ownership and after long litigation succeeded in conserving the great mills for her 
children, who will be invested with their management as soon as they shall have attained their 
majorities. About 4000 operatives are now employed in the three Webster plants of the 
corporation and in its Farnumsville branch, and the corporation owns hundreds of tenements, a 
250 acre farm, and pays nearly 60,; of the entire tax of the Town of Webster.

NEW ENGLAND CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC 




HE New England Conservatory of Music, incorporated in 1870 by a special 
act of the Legislature of the State of Mass., claims 1833 as the date of its 
origin, since in that year its founder. Dr. Eben Tourjee, first introduced 
into America the Conservatory system of musical instruction. In the year 
18s-.', the growing needs of the institution led to the purchase of an estate 
on Franklin Sq. which it occupied until the close of the school year 1901-3. 
With the opening of the school year li»0'i-.'5, the Conservatory took possession 
of its new building on Huntington Ave. cor. of Gainsboro St. The Con- 
servatory so arranges its curriculum that all pupils in its regular courses who are studying to 
be teachers, singers or performers on any instrument, shall pursue theje theoretical branches 
which are most necessary in their particular class, together with their general instrumental or 
vocal practice. The Conservatory endeavors not only to give the pupil instruction by the most 
able teachers and modern methods, but to surround him with a musical atmosphere which shall 
be at once a stimulus and a discipline; also to afford him opportunities for practice teaching 
and for public performance. The larger auditorium, Jordan Hall, is the gift of Mr. Eben D. 
Jordan, Pres. of Hoard of Trustees. It has a seating cai)acity of over one thousand, and its 
acoustic properties are exceptionally fine. Here the Conservatory orchestral and Choral con- 
certs and the recitals of the Faculty and advanced students are given. The Conservatory has 
a faculty numbering over one hundred, and the enrollment for the year 1911-1-2 was 3006 pupils.

O mention The L. S. .Starrett Co., in the jjresence of workers in 
metal or wood, is to suggest tools of the finest i|uality and of al)so- 
lute i)recision. Behind this reputation stands a personality that is 
an inspiration and a confirmation of optimism, — the personality of 
L. -S. .Starrett. The bare facts of his life are in themselves a com- 
plete novel of successful achievement. 

L. S. Starrett was born 'i.3 April, IN.'ilJ, in China, Me. The 
sixth child in a family of twelve, his early education was such as 
.•1 country school afforded in the intervals of farm labor. In IfSlil he married Lydia 
Bartlett, and settled on a 000 acre farm. His leisure moments were used in e.\- 
perimenting, and he invented a washing machine, ;i butter worker, .ind a nie.it 
chopper. In 1868, Mr. Starrett moved to Athol, where the .Athol Maciiinc Co. 
was organized to make these inventions. 

Sometime later he went into business for himself and lieg.in to make the 
Starrett combination square, comprising sliding rule, s(|u;h-c. mitre, and le\el, .-uid 
this tool made the name of Starrett famous and was the foundation of his lasting 
success. One invention followed another until to-day the Starrett tools arc in 
use all over the world. They now require a catalogue of .'i'iO closely printed 
pages, and the factory has over five acres of floor s])ace, employs 800 men, and is 
the largest in the world devoted exclusively to the manufacture of small tools. Its 
products are sold direct to the hardware trade by fifteen s.ilesmen in .\meric.i ;ind 
two in Europe, with stores in New York. Chicago and London. 
The business was incori)orated 1 .Ian.. II'OO. 

The town of Athol owes nuich to Mr. .'Starrett. He has recently presented 
to the town valuable l.md on Main street as sites for a Library building and a Town 
Hall: and the .\thol Y. M. C. A. was made possible by his gifts of .■?:{.), 000 and 
the site for the l)iiilding, whicli was formerly occupied by his fir^t ni;ichiiic shop.

FARR ALPACA COMPANY 

HOLYOKE, MASS. 

|N the summer of 1874, when the pro- 
tective tariff first became effective in 
the United States, Herbert M. Farr, 
a Canadian manufacturer, realizing 
the numerous benefits which would 
be derived from a dress goods mill in this country, 
started on a prospecting tour, seeking a location 
for such an establishment. He was accompanied 
by his brother-in-law, .Joseph Metcalf. The desired 
location was found at Holyoke. Mass. 

With the assistance of D. H. Newton of 
Holyoke, the Farr Alpaca Company was estab- 
lished. Like many other large industries this 
great textile company started in a modest way 
with a small factory, employing about four hun- 
dred employees. The promoters of the new 
company held their meeting for organization in 
the old Holyoke House, now the Hotel Hamilton, 
on November 8, 1873. These officers were elected: 
Jared Beebe. President; Herbert M. Farr, Treas- 
urer; Directors, Jared Beebe, J. C. Parsons. H. 
M. Farr, Anderson Allyn, Joseph Metcalf, George 
Randall and Timothy Merrick. 



The new concern had great difficulty at first 
to sell its stock. The times were hard. There 
were some who looked at the matter as at the 
best a speculative v'enture, and no one dreamed 
of the growth that the coming years were to bring 
to this industry. 

The company had only been in existence 
about two years when the Centennial Exposition 
was held at Philadelphia in 1S7<». Its Exhibit 
received a Medal of Award, the Judge of the 
Exhibit being Henry Mitchell of Bradford, Eng- 
land, an acknowledged expert. When Mr. Mitchell 
submitted his report, he said, "The undersigned 
having examined the products herein described, 
respectfully recommends the same to the United 
States Centennial Commission for award for the 
following reasons: For an excellent exhibit of 
Black Alpacas, Mohairs, Cashmeres and Serges; 
all of superior manufacture, very regular in 
({uality, evenly spun and woven and of permanent 
color and finish." 

Soon afterwards, the company sent out a 
circular to the trade announcing its adherence to 
the policy that has since made it famous all over 
this country and beyond. This announcement 
read: "This company is determined to maintain 
its position at the head of this industry and will 



continue to spare neither effort nor expense to 
meet the retiuirements of the best trade." The 
success of the company is due to a strict adherence 
to this policy. 

The product of the Farr Alpaca Company 
consists of worsted dress goods and of coat linings. 
Its market is the whole United States, the pro- 
hibitions of the tariff operating at present prevent- 
ing its field from being universal. The worsted 
goods are made from extra long combed wool, also 
from wool from the Angora Goat of Asiatic Turkey 
and the Alpaca Sheep of Peru and a species of the 
Llama. This company was the first to manufac- 
tui-e all wool Cashmeres and Henriettas and the 
first to make serge linings to compete with those 
made in Bradford. England. 

In the present plant, which consists of three 
large mills, no less than three thousand people are 
employed. Fifty-one miles of cloth a day or over 
sixteen thousand miles a year are woven. Over 
six million pounds of wool are used annually to 
run these plants; 7388 horse power is required. 
1080 being water power and the rest steam power. 

Joseph Metcalf. the present treasurer and 
agent of the Farr Alpaca Company, is the only 
living member of the original board of directors. 
He was born in Leeds. England, March 24. 1841. 



In 1851, when his fathei* was partially disabled by 
an accident to his eyes, he was adopted by an 
uncle, who resided in Hamilton. Canada, and who 
in that year was on a visit to England to attend 
the first great World's Fair at the Crystal Palace 
in London. 

The lad received his early education at private 
and public schools in Hamilton, but at the age 
of sixteen he entered the service of the Great 
Western Railway of Canada, now merged with 
the Grand Trunk Railway. Beginning at the 
bottom, he tilled in succession every position in 
the combined office of Traffic Auditor and Gen- 
eral Ticket Agent, becoming the head of that 
department when he was twenty-two years old. 
He was subse(juently made Chief Accountant, 
combining his former office with that of General 
Accountant, and in 1S7:5 he was made treasurer 
of the company. 

In 18()8 he married Miss Clara W. Farr. sister 
of the late Herbert M. Farr. with whom he was 
associated in founding the Farr Alpaca Company. 

In 1874, Mr. Metcalf withdrew from railway 
life and went to Holyoke. where he had accepted 
the office of treasurer of the Farr Alpaca Com- 
pany. The success of this company may be safely 
ascribed to the untiring devotion of Mr. Farr and 



Mr. Metcalf to every detail uf tlie business. Since 
the death of Mr. Farr in 1 !)()(). Mr. Metcalf has 
combined the office of Agent and Treasurer. 

Mr. Metcalf was always an ardent protection- 
ist and allied himself with the Republican partj\ 
He did not vote in Canada until protection was 
the battle cry and it happened that the candidate 
he voted for was the hrst so-called labor candidate 
in the country. He has made several visits to 
Washington in connection with tariff revision and in 
the revision of 1888, he worked with the officers of 
the Wool Manufacturers' Association in securing 
separate classifications for all wool dress goods, 
which previous to that date had been grouped 
with the cheaper cotton warp goods. The Farr 
Alpaca Company had at that time installed a 
plant for making all wool cashmeres, being the 
first company in the United States to spin and 
weave yarns made on the so-called French system. 

Mr. Metcalf has never aspired to any political 
office, but has held offices in the Home Market 
Club and the National Association of Wool Manu- 
facturers. He has never cared for club life except 
such as encouraged outdoor sports. He has always 
been an enthusiastic golfer, autoist and canoe club 
member, sports which he delighted in because he 
could enjoy them with his children. 



181 



He is an attendant at St. Paul's Episcopal 
Church, Holyoke. and has always given freely to 
its support and to the many benevolent associa- 
tions of his city. His sympathy with labor has 
been shown by the several voluntary increases in 
wages which have been given to the employees of 
the Fan- Alpaca Company during the past fifteen 
years. 

It has always been his ambition to make his 
employees the best paid in the world in their line 
of work and in this he has succeeded. 

He has two sons, Frank H., assistant agent 
and assistant treasurer of the Farr Alpaca Com- 
pany, and Howard F., superintendent of the 
finishing mill of that company. Mr. Metcalfs one 
daughter is Mrs. Addison L. Cireen.

HIS company was organized in thi- year 19*"' by the seven sons of 
the late Herbert M. Warren of Newton, Mass. (Albert C, 
Herbert M., Henry .)., George C, Frederick J., Walter B., and 
Ralph L. Warren) , the father being one of six brothers celebrated 
in their time as associated in lines of business analogous to that of 
the Warren Bros. Co. : and as inventors of the gravel roof. One 
(if the elder generation was the first to pump oil from wells to rail- 
road through pipe line, the jHiint to which he delivered the oil to 
the railroad being then known as "Warren Landing," now the City of Warren, I'a. 
The elder generation of Warrens did business in New York and Boston as Warren Bros. 
Oil Co. . Warren Chemical & Mfg. Co. , Warren Roofing Co. , Warren Color Co. , and the 
Warren Scharf Asphalt Paving Co., and were also organizers of the N. E. Felt Hoofing 
Co. As these names show, the earlier as well as the present generation were engaged 
in the development of the oil, asphalt and coal tar industries, and especially in their 
application to roofs and pavements, in all of which lines the present company is 
actively engaged. Its chief business is the laying of pavement known as '"Bitulithic" 
under patents issued to Frederick .John Warreii, Pres. of the Co., from its organiza- 
tion until his death in February, 1905. The Bitulithic pavement was first adopted 
in the City of Pawtucket. R. 1., in 19<>1. and up to the close of the year 191'2 has 
been adoi)ted in more than '275 cities of the United States and Canada, ranging in 
climatic conditions from Edmonton, Province of Alberta, Can., to El Paso, Texas, 
and to the extent of over i!5,0()0,000 sq. yds., being equivalent to over 1,400 miles 
of roadway .'JO ft. wide between curbs. Bitulithic is defined in Webster's New 
International Dictionary as "designating a kind of p.iving the main body of which 
consists of broken stone cemented together with bitumen or asphalt -«. Bitulithic 
pavement." Bitulithic which is laid under the |)atents of Warren Bros. Company, 
is distinctly dift'erent from other forms of as]ihalt pavement in that the wearing surface 
is composed of a combination of crushed stone, varying in size from about one inch 
to impalpable powder, the several sizes being so proportioned that each receding size 
is used in the quantity required to fit in the voids or air spaces between the coarser 
particles. The result of this gradation is that the "mineral aggregate' ' thus produced 
is within \0'/o of the density of solid rock. The "mineral aggregiite" is heated to 
a temperature of about ,'500 degrees, mixed with pure asphalt also in a heated con- 
dition, in such quantity as to coat every particle of the stone and thoroughly fill the 
remaining voids in the aggregate. The advantages claimed for the Bitulithic pave- 
ment over the stand.ird asphalt pavement or any of its modifications, are: Greater 
stability and conseiiutnt durability; Better foothold; Greater resiliency; More 
thoroughly Avatirproof and therefore more sanitary. Cieorge Co])]) Warren, Pres. of 
the Com|)any since 1905, was born in West Newton, Mass., Sept. 1, 1S()3. After 
graduation from the Newton High School, he took u]) work in the manufactory of his 
father and uncles in New York, where asjjhalt and coal tar materials were refined and 
roofing and ])aving and coal tar coloring materials produced. Subsequently, in 
the year 1884, he entered the field of as])halt paving as foreman for the Warren 
Scharf Asphalt Paving Company, and advanced to General Supt. of the business of 
that company throughout the United States and Canada, which position he filled 
from the years 1895 to 1901 inclusive, when he became associated with the then 
newly organized Warren Brothers Comijany. Mr. Warren is a member of the Puritan 
Club and Boston City Club of Boston, Longwood Cricket Club of Chestnut Hill (in 
which suburl) hv resides), the Boston Clianiber of Commerce. The .Sons of the 
Revolution, .Vmerie.m .Sot-it-ty of Municipal Improvements. The .Vmerican Society of
